While neutrals definitely have their place in every wardrobe, there’s always something refreshing about dressing in clashing colours that can elevate your entire ensemble — a sure-fire way to make a statement. Whether you’re still WFH, going on a staycation, or heading off to an actual holiday, now is the time to welcome some bold colours into your wardrobe.
As we slide into summer, there’s something about sunshine that makes brights feel right. As well as being the perfect way to shake up your wardrobe for the warmer weather, plus bright colours are proven to be a mood lifter too. Read on as we give you a masterclass in how to mix and match in unexpected colours and combinations.
1. For cocktails
When it comes to after-dark dressing, you’d be sure to want to look for show-stopping colours while still looking elegant and eye-catching. Opt for shocking pink and emerald green while remembering to keep the shades of a similar depth, instead of mixing a bold tone and a pastel, for optimum impact.

2. For work
The best way to stand out in the office is with statement-making colours, while keeping things work-appropriate. You can always stick to a neutral dress and add a bright coloured coat or jacket which you can slip off if required. Do enhance your overall ensemble with clashing and playful accessories to up the impact.
